Reading the Stage. A series of conversations about theatre design

Cycle of activities

The Museu del Disseny de Barcelona, together with the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya and the Biblioteca El Clot - Josep Benet are offering a series of talks about design for theatre.

Each session will focus on one of the main disciplines of design in the world of theatre: set design, video, costumes, lighting, sound design, direction and stage photography with the starting point of each conversation being the perfomances from the National Theatre of Catalonia’s 2014-2015 season.

At each talk, a director from one of the disciplines of one of the performances at the TNC will speak with a professional in the same field in order to offer a more complete conversation about theatrical performance.

Sessions will take place every third Monday of the month, from November 2014 until June 2015, in the Auditorium of the the Clot Library – Josep Benet (the Disseny Hub Barcelona building).
